ABSTRACT

This device fits longitudinally over a common Spring Loaded Toilet Paper Holder and then placed inside the cardboard tube which holds the toilet tissue. The toilet tissue is then placed in the original receptacle.

This invention relates to paper dispenser systems, specifically inbathrooms.

The most common toilet paper rollers are similar in structure changingin time with the materials available. U.S. Pat. No. 3,823,889 is oneexample of a standard design that wastes paper. Attempts to controlpaper waste, U.S. Pat. No. 5,887,759 added cost to the system and is notesthetic.

A paper holder in FIG. 1A through FIG. 1F is produced from expandedpolymers by injection molding, producing a flexible tube that encirclesa telescoping holder (FIG. 2) resulting in the configuration FIG. 3A,3B, 3C. The polymer tube's elasticity enables it to adhere to the largediameter cylinder in FIG. 2, but lets the small diameter cylinder movelongitudinally. The square outer perimeter of the device, FIG. 1E, 1F,FIG. 3B, 3C, FIG. 4B, allows the device to fit various sizes ofcardboard cores. When paper is dispensed, the device retards therevolutions by forcing the roller FIG. 2, the paper roll FIG. 4A, 4B,the device FIG. 1 to revolve as one unit.

The compression coil springs' longitudinal force add resistance at theouter ends of the cylinders, supported in conventional housings (notshown).

The result is a silent, invisible and economical device to reduce paperwaste, that easily adapts to rollers presently being manufactured.

1. A Loo Loo is a device which impedes the rotating motion existing in atoilet paper dispensing system.
 2. A pliant tubular device defined inclaim 1, fits firmly over the large diameter of the spring loadedroller, leaving the smaller diameter of the roller to movelongitudinally along its axis.
 3. A system defined in claim 2 iscomprised of the toilet tissue roll, the device, and the spring loadedroller rotating as one unit, creating a resistance at each end of theaxis contained by the receptacle.
